   presume you're looking for the ANSI version...
   try "ANSI.C.Z" in volume 1 of the comp.sources.unix...

posted a YACCable C++ grammar to comp.lang.c++ recently.  He also
posted the derived C grammar (derived largely by eliminating
productions that make no sense in C).  It seems to be good work, it's
recent, and it's public domain.  He also has papers explaining the
philosophy of his grammars and discussing the difficulties of parsing.

I have no financial interest related to him.  I have not used the
grammars myself, but I've seen no complaints about them.
